Autumn is arriving.

Last Saturday we when the remnants of Hannah moved up the east coast, we here in north-central PA were on the back side of the blow and heavy rains. What that means is we didn't get the heavy rains the folks east of us did (I recorded a mere 0.3 inches in the rain gauge) but the winds came pretty strongly out of the north. The 80 degree temperatures were blown well to our south and we were left with highs in the low 70s during the day and lows in the low 50s at night.

This morning was a bit warmer with a low of only 60 but that was because we got a little more rain around 3-4 AM. It never did get very warm today and only reached 67 degrees. When I had to go down the hill for the mail I heard on the radio there may be light frost in some areas tomorrow night. Checking weather.com, they say a low of 40-41 is possible Wednesday night.

Oh, it will get slightly warmer from Thursday on. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the 60 range. Even so, I'm going to have to think about closing up some windows.

And Old Mr. Sol is still blemish free. It's going to be a cold, cold winter.
